IN A JOINT.

1t was late Wednesday night that bloody
affair took place in an East Douglas avenue
joint. The said joint is located on the second
floor Of brick building. 1t seems that a
party of friends repaired there near 10
O'Clock for a regular good time with cards
and drinkables. No one else was in that de-
partment at the time of arrival, and the beer
singer soon found out he had good party
for the night, and all succeeding ''three
knocks were not responded to. The gang
progressed about after the ordinary custom.
Near 2 O'Clock there arose dispute concern
ing the game. 1t happened that the gang
Yves about equally divided on the dis
pute, and both seemed to be of the
plucky sort. The noise soon was
loud enough to arouse number of
parties sleeping in the building and they
commenced to get interested over the situa-
tion. Before anyone reached the hall the
combat commenced. 1t had not continued
long until one member of the gang had left
the room yelling police. He was met in the
hall by gentleman who did not belong to
the row who was also thinking police. AS
soon as the half drunken fend learned that
fact he attempted to stop him and in order
to do SO commenced to strike right and left
at him. The sober man proves too much for
his opponent and soon sent him down the
to the avenue. The drunken fellow
picked himself up and made way for liberty.
By this time the gang had completed their
fight and started for walk also. They
went away and the spectators returned for
another nap.

S. and costs. Against George F. Nash, an
other arrest by the same officer, was the
charge of representing himself as an officer
and in that manner attempting to terrorize
the inmates of house of prostitution. He
paid for this little freak IS and costs.
R. H. Dimes was Lilly's arrest; the prison
er the evening before had drawn a revolver
upon another gambler near the corner of
Douglas and Lawrence. He paid into the
city treasury s25, and thus, for once in his
life, proved himself of at least little benefit
to the municipality. c.. Fl. Benson was
brought in on similar charge and likewise
paid a fine. Later in the day Joe Stewart

rant and while eating his dinner was subject
to no little annoyance from the insulting re-
marks of drunken bum After the meal,

NOT A CYCLONE,

John A. Ratliff is building two houses on
South Market. While these structures are
in course of construction, he had moved
upon vacant lot near by house which
formerly stood upon the property. This
house was placed upon four slender pillars
about two feet high and were thought per-
fectly secure. Last night during the rain
the ground upon which the pillars were
placed became thoroughly soaked and about
O'Clock they fell and the house went fiat
upon the ground with a crash, knocking
down the chimney and seriously disarrang-
ing things within. The inmates were all
thoroughly frightened and it took John
about an hour to realize the fact that he
hadn't been struck by cyclone.

Wednesday night near 2 o'clock, Mr.. Jim
Coffee attempted to call up central office
from Gandolfoe's hotel. After ringing fer

went to the Office, and after a series of yells
and pounding at the door he succeeded in
arousing the man in charge of affairs He
asked him to please keep awake until he
could get back to Gandolfo's. 1t happened
he did so, and in due time sent the message

The night alarm was ringing diligently
when Mr.. Coffee went to central office, and
h ad been it was supposed, ever since his first
call. 1t could be heard some distance, yet it
did not seem to be able to command the at
tention of the night man.

WILL COME WEST.

Mr.. Fred Baxter, of the Philadelphia Truss
Company, stated yesterday that he made an
extensive tour of Kansas in the days of '19
and little dreamed that only eight years
would show such development. He said
his trip to Wichita caused him to believe
that his company would ere long be compel
ed to have western house. 1t was getting
too expensive to bring so many goods across
the Alleghanies.
While in the state he met DR.. Fryau, of
Fl. Leavenworth and DR.. Fireman, Of Fl.
Dodge, U. S. surgeons who were so impress
sed with his trusses that they succeeded in
getting the government to adopt the same.
That fact alone caused him to have kindly
feeling for Kansas

= FORMIDABLE BENGAL TIGER.
S. 81. Barrett, late last season, purchased
at Boston tremendous Bengal tiger which
had been captured only few months prev
ious, and was brought to the Hub on ship
direct from Calcutta The natives of Bengal
state that he had destroyed and devoured
fifty or more people, including two entire
families who resided near his native jungle
he seemed to bear charmed life, and could
not be exterminated with either spear or
bullet. he was finally caught in a huge trap,
bound with ropes ard thongs, land forced
into stroug cage, in which he was conveyed
on the ship to America. One of Barrett's
agents happened in Boston at the time of the
arrival Of the ship, and, after more or less
parleying, closed a bargain with the captain
for the animal.
Since being placed in Mr.. Barrett's
menagerie, where he is confined alone in a
specially strong cage. he has torn the arms
and shoulders of two employees through the
steel bars of his lair, and no man can be
found among the several experienced and
courageous wild-beast trainers with the show
daring enough to enter his den and face him.
They believe he never can be subdued.
If any of the ambitious youth of the city
desire an opportunity to conquer this beast,
and thereby attain renown, Manager Barrett
will doubtless afford them an opportunity on
the occasion Of his visit here.
